Christian Simonson and Indian Rock are ranked No. 7 in the world to become the American combination with the highest standings since separate rider and horse rankings were launched four years ago.

Both the 23-year-old rider and Indian Rock, a Dutch-bred stallion aged 13, climbed five places from 12th at the end of March to 7th after claiming reserve championship at the World Cup Final in Fort Worth, Texas last month.
